Layers is the first in a nice long series by Macx and Lara Bee. I believe the latest story in the series, Evolution, was posted in June 2005, and from that story's ending, it's obvious that further stories in the series are planned. In a gleeful fit of fannish wallowing I read the entire series in one sitting, but each story may be read alone. They make much more sense if you read them in order, however! The later stories in the series also include other pairings: Sesshoumaru/Sango, Shippo/Rin, and Kagome/Kouga.
Layers, as the first in
the series, can stand alone quite perfectly. It's the story of Inu Yasha and Miroku discovering their feelings for each other, in their uniquely stubborn and misunderstanding- and curse-plagued ways. There's plenty of romance, angst, sex and violence in this story, and in the rest of the series. Very nicely done.
